The more I hear about him, the more I like Charitable Man as well, but I still don't think you can completely discount Chocolate Candy. Mine That Bird is still somewhat of a sentimental pick just because I want to see Calvin go for the jockey triple crown, but I'm mainly just sad Rachel Alexandra isn't running. If it's best for her to not run though then I'm all for that.
Personally i am going for charitable man. This is a stronger, but smaller horse i believe will have the endurance to outlast some of the bigger horses. I am a bit concerned with miners escape and mine that bird, as they too are both good small endurance horses, but charitable man is my man, and i know charitable man will have the stregnth and endurance, plus the heart at the end to take home the triple crown.
HOLY CHIT did you guys just see what diamondrella did? That was ***ing awesome and all the way from the back of the pack.
I wonder if they are putting up odds in Vegas for the "Borel Triple Crown"?. Sure they are, you can bet on anything in Vegas, right?. Anyway, I think Mind That Bird will win this race, he seems to like to step it up a notch at the very end. So i bet the trifecta 7/38. Prolly should have put him with everyone. The odds on hitting the superfecta should be pretty good with only 10 running. Think I will box 4 of them. And I put some money on Luv Gov just in case............. to win. Good luck everyone with your bets:)
Klink I really wish you would do these a lil earlier, did ok with Musket man, but now I am on my own wish me luck!!!!!!!!
Well, goes to show ya how much I know:oops:. My sister did hit the $1 superfecta box, she won half which amounted to $400 some dollars for a $24 bet. Anyone else do any good? Congrats if ya did:).
I hit the trifecta which paid $295. I spent $80 on many different combinations and one paid off!!! I love the horses!!!!
You realise that is -EV in the long run right?Quote:

Not if you do it right. Eliminating all the horses who will never hit the board then boxing the rest in trifectas can be a profitable strategy. You just have to be careful about who you toss.Quote:

He ended up net losing $45 cos the 3 favourites came in 1/2/3
Very nice Pokerkitty. I usually only bet the horses for the Triple Crown. I do however love betting on the greyhounds. Usually go a couple times a year in the fall. They also have a poker room there that I need to go check out. Congrats again:)Quote:
